Chapter 3: The Morning After
Emma woke up way earlier than her usual 7 AM, because she wanted some time to look extra hot, and find a way to get out of the house without her parents seeing her. Hmmm, Emma thought. She could wear her super hot, low rise tight jeans, and a super hot halter, but just pull a sweatshirt over my head so my parents wont suspect anything. And don't eat breakfast. Just rush out as soon as you can. Emma grinned. She was the only one awake. She took out some brand new, super-low tight hip hugging jeans, a dark red halter top, some new red high heels and set them on her chair, and plugged up her curling iron so she could fix her hair to look sexy. She also set out her bright red string thong with the little playboy bunnies on it, and her matching bra. But then she felt a surge of guilt. Emma's mom had tried to come in her room to talk with her about why she left school early, but Emma insisted everything was okay. Her parents also didn't know she was going to be dressing like this......like a wannabe of Britney Spears. But that was going to change. The only problem was Emma didn't know how she was going to hide this from them. But she had to get ready. Emma ran to take a shower, then came back about 20 minutes later to blow dry her hair, curl it a little, and do her makeup. Then she put her clothes on. She looked at herself in the mirror. Wow. Emma didn't recognize herself for a minute. She was used to being the boring, perfect, nice, responsible, environmental girl. She glanced at the clock. It was 8 AM, and Emma had to be at school by 8:30. She had some time. She decided to call Manny and ask her what she should do---Manny had tried to sneak away without her parents seeing her like this, and succeeded many times. Emma picked up her cordless baby blue phone and pressed the speed dial on Manny's number.
Manny: Hello?
Emma: Hey, its me. How the hell am I supposed to get out of the house without my parents seeing me like this? If I wear a big coat or a sweater, they'll think something's up cuz its warm outside. And if I sneak out the window, they wont know where I am! I cant get into any more trouble, they already grounded me for a month.
Manny: Well, just wear the sweater and tell them you have a chill or something.
Emma: Oh thanks Manny you are a lifesaver. But I'm so nervous!
Manny: Don't worry Emma, everything is going to work out fine. Trust me, you'll get tons of compliments. Are you finished getting ready?
Emma: Yea, I woke up a little early to get ready. Actually, I better go. I'll meet you at Degrassi Street ok?
Manny: OK, see you there! I cant wait to see how you look!
Emma clicked off the phone and sighed. Well, here I go, thought Emma. Here goes the new me. Emma went to her closet and pulled a red sweatshirt out that said 'Nike' on it. she then pulled her curled hair into a clip, and walked upstairs.
Spike: Oh, hi honey, wait....why are you wearing a sweater? It's warm outside!
Emma: Oh....well, when I woke up this morning, I was cold, that's all, and I had a little bit of a chill, so I decided to wear a sweater.
Spike: Are you sure? Is there something you're not telling me?
Emma: I'm sure, I'm fine Mom. Where's Snake?
Spike: Oh, he had to get to school early. For a meeting.
Suddenly, it hit Emma. Snake was a teacher there, of course! He'd tell her mom she was dressing like this, and she'd be busted! Doy! Why didn't Emma think of that earlier? A look of horror struck Emma's face.
Spike: Em, what's wrong? Honey!?
Emma: I, I'm fine.....just remembered that big test today! That's all.
Spike: Oh, well, you'll do good like always.
Emma grabbed an apple and said 'Bye' to her mom, then was out the door. Emma started cursing under her breath, but as soon as she was away enough from the house, she pulled off her sweater and stuffed it in her backpack, and pulled the clip out of her hair. There, she was set. She started walking down the sidewalk, but bumped into someone. None other than Liberty Van Zandt.
Liberty: Oh, sorry about that.....EMMA!!??!?
Emma: Its ok Lib. Yea, its me!
Liberty: Wow, you look.....different. Like that Britney Spears person or something. Why the change? And your belly button....it has a hole in it!
The two girls started walking down the sidewalk together, but Liberty was giving her a funny look.
Emma: Well, I was just sick of being the boring, perfect Emma, you know?
Liberty: No, I don't know. Your going to be another Manny Santos, huh? I like you the way you are!
Emma: Its really none of your business, Lib. Oh, and tell Kendra I'm quitting that pathetic environmental club. Later.
Emma waked away, flipping her hair behind her back. The truth was, she really did still care about the environment, she just knew it was too nerdy if she was going to be hot. Then she spotted Manny.
Emma: Manny, hey!
Manny: WOW! Emma you look great!
Emma leaned down to whisper to Manny, "As I was leaving the house, I remembered Mr. Simpson, none other than my step dad is going to see me like this and tell my mom! What am I going to do?"
Manny: Shit, your right. How about you just beg him to keep it quiet, and well, if that doesn't work.....you can do something else. Manny winked at her.
Emma didn't have a clue what Manny was taking about.
Emma: What are you taking about....MANNY! I cant do that! That's so gross! And he's related to me!
Manny: So? You have to do whatever it takes....
Emma shuddered just thinking about it, then they heard two boys whistle at her and Manny. "Hey Manny, who's your sexy friend?" Emma and Manny turned around to face SEAN AND JAY! Sean turned red as a tomato and Jay said 'Whoa...'
Sean: Uh....yes.....eh.....yuh......We better go Jay.....c'mon.....
Jay: Wow, Emma you really got hot soon! Maybe we could get together sometime.....have a little fun.....
He licked his lips and raised his eyebrows at her.
When they left, Emma couldn't help but squeal with excitement. Someone, even if it was Jay, had noticed her and her look. And Sean had actually stuttered!
Manny: Ohmigosh, I knew this would work. You already got attention and were not even in school yet!
